Though theoretically , Rogers could push out a firmware update to the Hitron modems disabling the AP. Though I've only seen Bell use customized firmwares disabling features. Haven't used Hitron modem, most recent Rogers modem I've used in years is the SMC modem/router.

Router USBs are used for network storage. If Rogers has modified the Hitron firmware to the point they can control the USB port then your personal data has zero security from Rogers prying eyes.

I'd be taking that Hitron and throwing it in the trash pronto. Rogers will have the ability to steal any and all personal data contained on your private network. This is how identity theft happens. Unsecured home networks.

With their MSO admin login, they have the admin rights within the firmware to turn it on. You just need to find someone who can help you. It may take a few calls because most frontline agents don't know what you're talking about...

As well as they have the USB port disabled for obvious security reasons. IE. Uploading a custom firmware to the modem to over-ride the settings they have in place.

I would only put music an videos on a 1tb external (so my identity should be as safe as it was before)I shoud be able to acess the threw wifi correct (if it get it turned on by rogers)could I acess it the internet exploer awell?

So I called Rogers the tech see a few extra thing in the setting that I donthe said that usb was un-checked and now he has checked it for meBut now what I dont see it on my networkI thought it might show of there
